Auckland Harbour Bridge traffic jams after overnight roadworks breakdown
Commuters from Auckland’s North Shore can expect long delays this morning after roadwork equipment broke down on the harbour bridge, blocking lanes.
The New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) said at 6am a “piece of roadworks equipment” had failed, which delayed the reopening of the bridge after an overnight closure.
Only two out of the five lanes were open.
At 6.10, the agency shared that one further lane had reopened and urged motorists to allow extra time for their commute.
Traffic is “heavily congested” from Tristram Ave to the Harbour Bridge, NZTA said.
At 6.20am, NZTA confirmed all lanes on the bridge were now opened. However, heavy congestion was still expected and it advised extra time for southbound travellers.
